Whew!!!! You guys blew us away with your stunning projects for this sketch challenge! I have never seen such widespread voting from the Design Team!! We really did have a tough task and we loved every minute of it, as well as each and every entry! Many thanks to everyone who played along...you guys are the bomb!!!!!

Hi! I am Mayoori, living in the beautiful town of Redmond, Washington with my ever supporting husband, and two lovely teenage daughters. I started scrapbooking two years ago, after I moved here from India. Frankly speaking, I was awestruck by the range of papers and embellishments available here in the US. I don’t have a particular fixed style and prefer to just go with the style based on my mood and context. Looking at the talent and creativity in this field all around, I’m truly inspired. Although I have been scrapbooking for a while now, I feel Iike I am still in learning phase. There is so much more that can be done and a great opportunity for me to unleash my creativity.

I always take lots of pictures of my daughters (although they don't like it too much) ,but I know (and hope) they will cherish it later. After all, could there be any better way to capture the essence and mood of the pictures than scrapbooking? I am proud to say I am a scrapbooker.

Mayoori created this gorgeous page for us.

The papers, styling and elements are so perfectly retro! That photo is so fabulous too! ;-)

Thanks so much Mayoori for creating this page for us, you can see some more details here! ;-)
